Fylfathic (/ˈfʊl.feɪ̯.ðɪk/, /ˈfʌl.feɪ̯.ðɪk/, or /ˈfɪl.feɪ̯.ðɪk/; Autonym: {{l|fulf|فٖلفَنَوَث|tr=fülfanawaṯ}} /fyl.fa.na.waθ/) is a Chlesamnic language spoken around and on Mount Lebanon ({{l|fulf||tr=-}}).
Fylfathic (/ˈfʊl.feɪ̯.ðɪk/, /ˈfʌl.feɪ̯.ðɪk/, or (rare) /ˈfɪl.feɪ̯.ðɪk/, also "Lojic" /loʊ̯.d͡ʒɪk/; Autonym: {{l|fulf|تُنگَفٖلفَنص|tr=tüngafülfanṣ}} /tyŋ.ga.fyl.fant͡s/ or {{l|fulf|تٖنگَلٓجَا|tr=tüngalojaʔ}} /tyŋ.ga.lo.d͡ʒaʔ/) is a Chlesamnic language spoken on the northeast side of Mount Lebanon (Native: {{l|fulf|خَفَنَوثَلٓجَا|tr=hafanawṯalojaʔ}}).


==Etymology==
==Etymology==
The modern name is the result of the rebracketing and misinterpretation of the older {{l|fulf|فٖلفَنَوثَتٖنَگ|tr=fülfanawṯatünag}}, itself from Classical Fylfathic {{lang|fulf|فيُلفانآثاتيُنگا}} ({{lang|fulf|fülfanōṯatünga}}), a compound of {{lang|fulf|فيُلفانآثاس}} (fülfanōṯas), the genitive of {{lang|fulf|فيُلفانص}} (fülfanṣ; "Fylfan people"), and {{lang|fulf|تيُنگا}} (tünga; "tongue, language"). The modern form {{lang|fulf|فٖلفَنَوَث}} (fülfanawaṯ) can itself be analyzed as {{l|fulf|فٖلَف|فٖلفَـ}} (fulfa-; "wolf") and {{l|fulf|ـنَوَث}} (-nawaṯ; "-ish, ic, -ian, -ese") through the further rebracketing of the term causing "-nawaṯ" to be taken as a suffix for forming language names.
{{l|fulf|تُنگَفٖلفَنص|tr=tüngafülfanṣ}} descends from Classical Fylfathic {{l|fulf|تيُنگافيُلفانص|tr=tüngafülfanṣ}}, itself a reformation of the ancient "فيُلفانآثاتيُنگا" ''(fülfanoṯatünga)'', all ultimately compounds of modern {{l|fulf|فٖلفَنص|tr=fülfanṣ|t=Fylfans}} + {{l|fulf|تٖنَگ|tr=tünag|t=tongue}}.


The {{l|fulf|لٓجَا|ـلٓجَا|tr=-lojaʔ}} of {{l|fulf|تٖنگَلٓجَا|tr=tüngalojaʔ}} is from {{lang|fulf|لٓجَا}} {{lang|fulf|lojaʔ}}, the word for a blinding white, though it is taken as a shortening of the name of Mount Lebanon.

==Morphology==
Fylfathic is among the most divergent of all the Chlesamnic languages, and this shows in its strongly nonconcatenative morphology that works off roots as in the Semitic languages.
